 HOW CAN WE GLORIFY GOD?
18 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I
will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not
overcome it.
Matthew 16:18
4 Asyou come to him, the living Stone—rejected by
men but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you
also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual
house to be a holy, offering spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1Peter 2
 WHAT KIND OF BRICK
ARE YOU?
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do
not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather
think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with
the measure of faith God has given you. 4 Just as each of us
has one body with many members, and these members do
not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we who are
many form one body, and each member belongs to all the
others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace
given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in
proportion to his faith. Romans 12:3–6
